Many producers across the region have ended up with a number of changes to their plans with the drier start to the season, the most important thing we’ve found is to have a plan and then to commit to what you’re comfortable with. 5 Ps - Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance

Great discussions this morning at the Farming Systems Advisor Update at Wallendbeen. Awesome work by @CSIRO team as always and some interesting insights from @JeremyWhish “rainbow charts” for yield prospects given our late start to the season. @AgroJAK @tony_swan64

HyTTec Trifecta near Cunningar soaking up some much wanted sunshine after a pretty handy top-up of ~20mm this week. Recent cold temps definitely keeping crop development to a snails 🐌 pace in the district .#Canola25.#GrowmoreAg

Vetch & Canola firing along in this mixed species Grazing Crop at Cunningar. Cattle & Sheep loving the Vetch and slowly developing a taste for the Canola. The Wheat in this mix is still yet to germinate, maybe with this 🌧️ 🤞🤞.#MixedSpecies.#GrazingCrop.#GrowmoreAg

PBA Barlock Lupins near Cunningar have been loving the warmer than average weather lately and I’m sure they’ll be soaking up today’s rain with glee!.#Lupins25.#GrowmoreAg

The good, the not so good and the ungerminated in this V55-04TF Canola near Grenfell. Plenty of moisture underneath, but some shallower sown seeds remain ungerminated - bring on the rain!.Always a challenge looking for Canola seed, but rewarding to find!.#Canola25.#GrowmoreAg

Victory V55-04TF Canola up and away near Grenfell following Faba Beans 🫘 in ‘24. Reasonable plant numbers given a dry start. #Canola25.#GrowmoreAg

This is a common sight across our region this year, Grazing Crops that would traditionally have had mouths just about ready to get on are struggling and patchy. Lots of Plan A’s have gone out the window with many waiting for 🌧️ to finalise sowing plans.#GrowmoreAg

LRPB Kittyhawk near Cunningar has powered through a fairly dry start. Surprisingly Jesh got his moisture probe to 60cm,😳 although he had to use all his oomph 😜 to get it through a dry patch at 10cm-25/30cm. #GrazingWheat25.#GrowmoreAg

Kittyhawk Wheat at Cunningar sown late March starting to move.This paddock has had the Kitchen Sink thrown at it to #RotateAndMix with Voraxor & Luximax being used as the pre-em package. Clean start to the crop, hopefully it stays that way when the 🌧️ arrives.#Wheat25.#GrowmoreAg

Another #GrazingCrop rocketing away at Nubba. A mix of Cereals, Brassica, Tillage Radish, Chicory, Clovers, Vetch and Soy Beans. Sown mid-March with a couple of falls of 🌧️ since and destined to be a #CowChow crop. 🐮 🥩.Keen to get on some N + 🌧️ to keep it firing!.#GrowmoreAg

This #GrazingCrop of Oats, Ryegrass, Brassica & Clover bouncing out of the ground near Wallendbeen after getting 12mm after sowing. A top up 🌧️ would be welcome any day now to keep it firing away 🚀 .#CowChow 🥩 🐮 🌱 .#GrowmoreAg

Vetch & Canola @ Cunningar sown into moisture in early March looking forward to the forecasted top up this weekend. Wheat was also spread pre-sowing in this paddock (for logistics) & it’s definitely looking for rain to start its germination process. #GrazingCrops25.#GrowmoreAg

A reasonably clean fallow has ensured sub surface moisture to help germinate this LRPB Kittyhawk Wheat at Wallendbeen last week in anticipation of the rain that didn’t come. 🤞 for cool temps and a moisture top up for the near future. #GrazingWheat.#Wheat25.#GrowmoreAg

Using dig stick to get an idea about where our pot acid throttles might be in a few pdks. Lime spread on this pdk a few years ago, but not mixed in. Garden pH kit showing ~6 in 0-5, ~5.5 in 5+cm and dropping down to ~5 around 15cm - take off ~0.8pH to convert to CaCl2.#GrowmoreAg

Cracking day for soil testing ☀️ around the traps today. Probe going in easily in clean fallows like this. Testing helps us make more informed decisions around fertilisers and ameliorants with our clients. #GrowmoreAg
